It notes a prosperous year for farmers with good yields and rising prices, steady business, and no pestilence or war. It urges all to give thanks to the Divine Author. It questions who can claim daily ingratitude when plenty and peace prevail and emphasizes enduring mercy for all.
A writer laments modern forgetfulness of gratitude comparing it to Pilgrim times.

Secretary of Agriculture David F Houston spoke before the National Grange on the 14th, with his address being read widely by farmers.

The text argues arable land totals and underutilized farming, urging a shift from waste to planned production and science. It advocates economic, not political, cooperation among bona fide producers to improve markets, infrastructure, and rural organization, stressing roads, health, sanitation, and social development.

Also notes a Sixty-six horse power engine ad and a Denton Maryland listing for farm equipment and cement drain tile.
